„Barcelona“ team strategist Ernesto Valverde does not care about any individual awards.
Although on Thursday it will be revealed who will win the “Golden Ball“, E. Valverde did not even want to talk about it, despite the fact that his pupil Lionel Messi could win this award for the sixth time.
If Cristiano Ronaldo triumphs, both footballers will have five “Golden Balls“. It is the Portuguese player who is considered the favorite to win due to his achievements in the Champions League and “La Liga“ titles last season.
During the press conference, journalists asked about the upcoming announcement of the winner of the “Golden Ball“, but the „Barcelona“ team coach showed no interest and replied: „I do not value any awards. Who can give awards to players who seem to deserve them.
“Golden boot“, “Golden ball“... I don't even know how many different awards there are. I'd rather not even talk about them“, - stated E. Valverde.
